The Community Supported Agriculture program (CSA) provides a model of farming directly linking consumers to farmers. With over 210 members, the CSA provides fresh organic produce to the campus and local community.
By purchasing a share of the harvest, members are able to pick up fresh vegetables, flowers, and herbs on a weekly basis.
Invest and Enjoy
This program allows community members the opportunity to invest in local agriculture and enjoy the benefits of fresh organic produce at the same time.
Hampshire College students are welcome to volunteer with the CSA program, and a limited number of work-study positions are available.
